lyrics

dead blackbird
on the blade of my shovel
when you wake up
you'll be glad it's gone

and
you'll see
i dug up one of the dead trees
out the back
the baby and i

praying mantis
lives in the ivy
we agree; he doesn't want to die
and i don't want to be touched
we work together to trim the vine

while little spider web fingers
plays in the leaves

try to hide the loneliness
in games of cat and monkey sounds
i won't be a burden to you that way
i only want to stay

you could take off to your brother's
to think i through
i could stay here
try to stay straight
fix up the house a little bit
cut some fresh lilies from around the side
for the day you come home
i'll do it all right

try to hide the loneliness
in games of cat and monkey sounds
i won't be a burden to you that way
i only want to stay
